feat: copier update v0.9.0 — extraction docs, state tracking, architecture guides
Sync template from 29ac25b → v0.9.0 (29 template commits). Due to template's _subdirectory migration, new files were manually rendered rather than auto-merged by copier. New files: - .claude/CLAUDE.md + coding_philosophy.md (agent instructions) - extract utils.py: SQLite state tracking for extraction runs - extract/transform READMEs: architecture & pattern documentation - infra/supervisor: systemd service + orchestration script - Per-layer model READMEs (raw, staging, foundation, serving) Also fixes copier-answers.yml (adds 4 feature toggles, removes stale payment_provider key) and scopes CLAUDE.md gitignore to root only.

# CLAUDE.md — Padelnomics
|
||||
|
||||
This file tells Claude Code how to work in this repository.
|
||||
|
||||
## Project Overview
|
||||
|
||||
Padelnomics is a SaaS application built with Quart (async Python), HTMX, and SQLite.
|
||||
It includes a full data pipeline:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
External APIs → extract → landing zone → SQLMesh transform → DuckDB → web app
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Packages** (uv workspace):
|
||||
- `web/` — Quart + HTMX web application (auth, billing, dashboard)
|
||||
- `extract/padelnomics_extract/` — data extraction to local landing zone
|
||||
- `transform/sqlmesh_padelnomics/` — 4-layer SQL transformation (raw → staging → foundation → serving)
|
||||
- `src/padelnomics/` — CLI utilities, export_serving helper
|
||||
|
||||
## Skills: invoke these for domain tasks
|
||||
|
||||
### Working on extraction or transformation?
|
||||
|
||||
Use the **`data-engineer`** skill for:
|
||||
- Designing or reviewing SQLMesh model logic
|
||||
- Adding a new data source (extract + raw + staging models)
|
||||
- Performance tuning DuckDB queries
|
||||
- Data modeling decisions (dimensions, facts, aggregates)
|
||||
- Understanding the 4-layer architecture
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
/data-engineer (or ask Claude to invoke it)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Working on the web app UI or frontend?
|
||||
|
||||
Use the **`frontend-design`** skill for UI components, templates, or dashboard layouts.
|
||||
|
||||
### Working on payments or subscriptions?
|
||||
|
||||
Use the **`paddle-integration`** skill for billing, webhooks, and subscription logic.
|
||||
|
||||

||||
```bash
|
||||

## Coding philosophy
|
||||
|
||||
- **Simple and procedural** — functions over classes, no "Manager" patterns
|
||||
- **Idempotent operations** — running twice produces the same result
|
||||
- **Explicit assertions** — assert preconditions at function boundaries
|
||||
- **Bounded operations** — set timeouts, page limits, buffer sizes
|
||||
|
||||

# Coding Philosophy & Engineering Principles
|
||||
|
||||
This document defines the coding philosophy and engineering principles that guide all agent work. All agents should internalize and follow these principles.
|
||||
|
||||
Influenced by Casey Muratori, Jonathan Blow, and [TigerStyle](https://github.com/tigerbeetle/tigerbeetle/blob/main/docs/TIGER_STYLE.md) (adapted for Python/SQL).
|
||||
|
||||
<core_philosophy>
|
||||
**Simple, Direct, Procedural Code**
|
||||
|
||||
- Solve the actual problem, not the general case
|
||||
- Understand what the computer is doing
|
||||
- Explicit is better than clever
|
||||
- Code should be obvious, not impressive
|
||||
- Do it right the first time — feature gaps are acceptable, but what ships must meet design goals
|
||||
</core_philosophy>
|
||||
|
||||
<code_style>
|
||||
|
||||
<functions_over_classes>
|
||||
**Prefer:**
|
||||
- Pure functions that transform data
|
||||
- Simple procedures that do clear things
|
||||
- Explicit data structures (dicts, lists, named tuples)
|
||||
|
||||
**Avoid:**
|
||||
- Classes that are just namespaces for functions
|
||||
- Objects hiding behavior behind methods
|
||||
- Inheritance hierarchies
|
||||
- "Manager" or "Handler" classes
|
||||
|
||||
**Example - Good:**
|
||||
```python
|
||||
def calculate_user_metrics(events: list[dict]) -> dict:
|
||||
"""Calculate metrics from event list."""
|
||||
total = len(events)
|
||||
unique_sessions = len(set(e['session_id'] for e in events))
|
||||
|
||||
return {
|
||||
'total_events': total,
|
||||
'unique_sessions': unique_sessions,
|
||||
'events_per_session': total / unique_sessions if unique_sessions > 0 else 0
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Example - Bad:**
|
||||
```python
|
||||
class UserMetricsCalculator:
|
||||
def __init__(self):
|
||||
self._events = []
|
||||
|
||||
def add_events(self, events: list[dict]):
|
||||
self._events.extend(events)
|
||||
|
||||
def calculate(self) -> UserMetrics:
|
||||
return UserMetrics(
|
||||
total=self._calculate_total(),
|
||||
sessions=self._calculate_sessions()
|
||||
)
|
||||
```
|
||||
</functions_over_classes>
|
||||
|
||||
<data_oriented_design>
|
||||
**Think about the data:**
|
||||
- What's the shape of the data?
|
||||
- How does it flow through the system?
|
||||
- What transformations are needed?
|
||||
- What's the memory layout?
|
||||
|
||||
**Data is just data:**
|
||||
- Use simple structures (dicts, lists, tuples)
|
||||
- Don't hide data behind getters/setters
|
||||
- Make data transformations explicit
|
||||
- Consider performance implications
|
||||
|
||||
**Example - Good:**
|
||||
```python
|
||||
# Data is data, functions transform it
|
||||
users = [
|
||||
{'id': 1, 'name': 'Alice', 'active': True},
|
||||
{'id': 2, 'name': 'Bob', 'active': False},
|
||||
]
|
||||
|
||||
def filter_active(users: list[dict]) -> list[dict]:
|
||||
return [u for u in users if u['active']]
|
||||
|
||||
active_users = filter_active(users)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Example - Bad:**
|
||||
```python
|
||||
# Data hidden behind objects
|
||||
class User:
|
||||
def __init__(self, id, name, active):
|
||||
self._id = id
|
||||
self._name = name
|
||||
self._active = active
|
||||
|
||||
def get_name(self):
|
||||
return self._name
|
||||
|
||||
def is_active(self):
|
||||
return self._active
|
||||
|
||||
users = [User(1, 'Alice', True), User(2, 'Bob', False)]
|
||||
active_users = [u for u in users if u.is_active()]
|
||||
```
|
||||
</data_oriented_design>
|
||||
|
||||
<keep_it_simple>
|
||||
**Simple control flow:**
|
||||
- Straightforward if/else over clever tricks
|
||||
- Explicit loops over list comprehensions when clearer
|
||||
- Early returns to reduce nesting
|
||||
- Avoid deeply nested logic
|
||||
|
||||
**Simple naming:**
|
||||
- Descriptive variable names (`user_count` not `uc`)
|
||||
- Function names that say what they do (`calculate_total` not `process`)
|
||||
- No abbreviations unless universal (`id`, `url`, `sql`)
|
||||
- Include units in names: `timeout_seconds`, `size_bytes`, `latency_ms` — not `timeout`, `size`, `latency`
|
||||
- Place qualifiers last in descending significance: `latency_ms_max` not `max_latency_ms` (aligns related variables)
|
||||
|
||||
**Simple structure:**
|
||||
- Functions should do one thing
|
||||
- Keep functions short (20-50 lines, hard limit ~70 — must fit on screen without scrolling)
|
||||
- If it's getting complex, break it up
|
||||
- But don't break it up "just because"
|
||||
</keep_it_simple>
|
||||
|
||||
<minimize_variable_scope>
|
||||
**Declare variables close to where they're used:**
|
||||
- Don't introduce variables before they're needed
|
||||
- Remove them when no longer relevant
|
||||
- Minimize the number of variables in scope at any point
|
||||
- Reduces probability of stale-state bugs (check something in one place, use it in another)
|
||||
|
||||
**Don't duplicate state:**
|
||||
- One source of truth for each piece of data
|
||||
- Don't create aliases or copies that can drift out of sync
|
||||
- If you compute a value, use it directly — don't store it in a variable you'll use 50 lines later
|
||||
</minimize_variable_scope>
|
||||
|
||||
</code_style>
|
||||
|
||||
<architecture_principles>
|
||||
|
||||
<build_minimum_that_works>
|
||||
**Start simple:**
|
||||
- Solve the immediate problem
|
||||
- Don't build for imagined future requirements
|
||||
- Add complexity only when actually needed
|
||||
- Prefer obvious solutions over clever ones
|
||||
|
||||
**Avoid premature abstraction:**
|
||||
- Duplication is okay early on
|
||||
- Abstract only when pattern is clear
|
||||
- Three examples before abstracting
|
||||
- Question every layer of indirection
|
||||
|
||||
**Zero technical debt:**
|
||||
- Do it right the first time
|
||||
- A problem solved in design costs less than one solved in implementation, which costs less than one solved in production
|
||||
- Feature gaps are acceptable; broken or half-baked code is not
|
||||
</build_minimum_that_works>
|
||||
|
||||
<explicit_over_implicit>
|
||||
**Be explicit about:**
|
||||
- Where data comes from
|
||||
- What transformations happen
|
||||
- Error conditions and handling
|
||||
- Dependencies and side effects
|
||||
|
||||
**Avoid magic:**
|
||||
- Framework conventions that hide behavior
|
||||
- Implicit configuration
|
||||
- Action-at-a-distance
|
||||
- Metaprogramming tricks
|
||||
- Relying on library defaults — pass options explicitly at call site
|
||||
</explicit_over_implicit>
|
||||
|
||||
<set_limits_on_everything>
|
||||
**Nothing should run unbounded:**
|
||||
- Set max retries on network calls
|
||||
- Set timeouts on all external requests
|
||||
- Bound loop iterations where data size is unknown
|
||||
- Set max page counts on paginated API fetches
|
||||
- Cap queue/buffer sizes
|
||||
|
||||
**Why:** Unbounded operations cause tail latency spikes, resource exhaustion, and silent hangs. A system that fails loudly at a known limit is better than one that degrades mysteriously.
|
||||
</set_limits_on_everything>
|
||||
|
||||
<question_dependencies>
|
||||
**Before adding a library:**
|
||||
- Can I write this simply myself?
|
||||
- What's the complexity budget?
|
||||
- Am I using 5% of a large framework?
|
||||
- Is this solving my actual problem?
|
||||
|
||||
**Prefer:**
|
||||
- Standard library when possible
|
||||
- Small, focused libraries
|
||||
- Direct solutions
|
||||
- Understanding what code does
|
||||
|
||||
**Approved dependencies (earn their place):**
|
||||
- `msgspec` — struct types and validation at system boundaries (external APIs, user input,
|
||||
inter-process data). Use `msgspec.Struct` instead of dataclasses when you need: fast
|
||||
encode/decode, built-in validation, or typed containers for boundary data.
|
||||
**Rule:** use Structs at boundaries (API responses, HAR entries, MCP tool I/O) —
|
||||
keep internal plumbing as plain dicts/tuples.
|
||||
</question_dependencies>
|
||||
|
||||
</architecture_principles>
|
||||
|
||||
<performance_consciousness>
|
||||
|
||||
<think_about_the_computer>
|
||||
**Understand:**
|
||||
- Memory layout matters
|
||||
- Cache locality matters
|
||||
- Allocations have cost
|
||||
- Loops over data can be fast or slow
|
||||
|
||||
**Common issues:**
|
||||
- N+1 queries (database or API)
|
||||
- Nested loops over large data
|
||||
- Copying large structures unnecessarily
|
||||
- Loading entire datasets into memory
|
||||
</think_about_the_computer>
|
||||
|
||||
<design_phase_performance>
|
||||
**Think about performance upfront during design, not just after profiling:**
|
||||
- The largest wins (100-1000x) happen in the design phase
|
||||
- Back-of-envelope sketch: estimate load across network, disk, memory, CPU
|
||||
- Optimize for the slowest resource first (network > disk > memory > CPU)
|
||||
- Compensate for frequency — a cheap operation called 10M times can dominate
|
||||
|
||||
**Batching:**
|
||||
- Amortize costs via batching (network calls, disk writes, database inserts)
|
||||
- One batch insert of 1000 rows beats 1000 individual inserts
|
||||
- Distinguish control plane (rare, can be slow) from data plane (hot path, must be fast)
|
||||
|
||||
**But don't prematurely optimize implementation details:**
|
||||
- Design for performance, then measure before micro-optimizing
|
||||
- Make it work, then make it fast
|
||||
- Optimize the hot path, not everything
|
||||
</design_phase_performance>
|
||||
|
||||
</performance_consciousness>
|
||||
|
||||
<assertions_and_invariants>
|
||||
|
||||
<use_assertions_as_documentation>
|
||||
**Assert preconditions, postconditions, and invariants — especially in data pipelines:**
|
||||
|
||||
```python
|
||||
def normalize_prices(prices: list[dict], currency: str) -> list[dict]:
|
||||
assert len(prices) > 0, "prices must not be empty"
|
||||
assert currency in ("USD", "EUR", "BRL"), f"unsupported currency: {currency}"
|
||||
|
||||
result = [convert_price(p, currency) for p in prices]
|
||||
|
||||
assert len(result) == len(prices), "normalization must not drop rows"
|
||||
assert all(r['currency'] == currency for r in result), "all prices must be in target currency"
|
||||
return result
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Guidelines:**
|
||||
- Assert function arguments and return values at boundaries
|
||||
- Assert data quality: row counts, non-null columns, expected ranges
|
||||
- Use assertions to document surprising or critical invariants
|
||||
- Split compound assertions: `assert a; assert b` not `assert a and b` (clearer error messages)
|
||||
- Assertions catch programmer errors — they should never be used for expected runtime conditions (use if/else for those)
|
||||
</use_assertions_as_documentation>
|
||||
|
||||
</assertions_and_invariants>
|
||||
|
||||
<sql_and_data>
|
||||
|
||||
<keep_logic_in_sql>
|
||||
**Good:**
|
||||
```sql
|
||||
-- Logic is clear, database does the work
|
||||
SELECT
|
||||
user_id,
|
||||
COUNT(*) as event_count,
|
||||
COUNT(DISTINCT session_id) as session_count,
|
||||
MAX(event_time) as last_active
|
||||
FROM events
|
||||
WHERE event_time >= CURRENT_DATE - 30
|
||||
GROUP BY user_id
|
||||
HAVING COUNT(*) >= 10
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Bad:**
|
||||
```python
|
||||
# Pulling too much data, doing work in Python
|
||||
events = db.query("SELECT * FROM events WHERE event_time >= CURRENT_DATE - 30")
|
||||
user_events = {}
|
||||
for event in events: # Could be millions of rows!
|
||||
if event.user_id not in user_events:
|
||||
user_events[event.user_id] = []
|
||||
user_events[event.user_id].append(event)
|
||||
|
||||
results = []
|
||||
for user_id, events in user_events.items():
|
||||
if len(events) >= 10:
|
||||
results.append({'user_id': user_id, 'count': len(events)})
|
||||
```
|
||||
</keep_logic_in_sql>
|
||||
|
||||
<sql_best_practices>
|
||||
**Write readable SQL:**
|
||||
- Use CTEs for complex queries
|
||||
- One concept per CTE
|
||||
- Descriptive CTE names
|
||||
- Comments for non-obvious logic
|
||||
|
||||
**Example:**
|
||||
```sql
|
||||
WITH active_users AS (
|
||||
-- Users who logged in within last 30 days
|
||||
SELECT DISTINCT user_id
|
||||
FROM login_events
|
||||
WHERE login_time >= CURRENT_DATE - 30
|
||||
),
|
||||
|
||||
user_activity AS (
|
||||
-- Count events for active users
|
||||
SELECT
|
||||
e.user_id,
|
||||
COUNT(*) as event_count
|
||||
FROM events e
|
||||
INNER JOIN active_users au ON e.user_id = au.user_id
|
||||
GROUP BY e.user_id
|
||||
)
|
||||
|
||||
SELECT
|
||||
user_id,
|
||||
event_count,
|
||||
event_count / 30.0 as avg_daily_events
|
||||
FROM user_activity
|
||||
ORDER BY event_count DESC
|
||||
```
|
||||
</sql_best_practices>
|
||||
|
||||
</sql_and_data>
|
||||
|
||||
<error_handling>
|
||||
|
||||
<be_explicit_about_errors>
|
||||
**Handle errors explicitly:**
|
||||
```python
|
||||
def get_user(user_id: str) -> dict | None:
|
||||
"""Get user by ID. Returns None if not found."""
|
||||
result = db.query("SELECT * FROM users WHERE id = ?", [user_id])
|
||||
return result[0] if result else None
|
||||
|
||||
def process_user(user_id: str):
|
||||
user = get_user(user_id)
|
||||
if user is None:
|
||||
logger.warning(f"User {user_id} not found")
|
||||
return None
|
||||
|
||||
# Process user...
|
||||
return result
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Don't hide errors:**
|
||||
```python
|
||||
# Bad - silently catches everything
|
||||
try:
|
||||
result = do_something()
|
||||
except:
|
||||
result = None
|
||||
|
||||
# Good - explicit about what can fail
|
||||
try:
|
||||
result = do_something()
|
||||
except ValueError as e:
|
||||
logger.error(f"Invalid value: {e}")
|
||||
raise
|
||||
except ConnectionError as e:
|
||||
logger.error(f"Connection failed: {e}")
|
||||
return None
|
||||
```
|
||||
</be_explicit_about_errors>
|
||||
|
||||
<fail_fast>
|
||||
- Validate inputs at boundaries
|
||||
- Check preconditions early
|
||||
- Return early on error conditions
|
||||
- Don't let bad data propagate
|
||||
- All errors must be handled — 92% of catastrophic system failures come from incorrect handling of non-fatal errors

<test_behavior_not_implementation>
|

**Focus on:**
|
||||
- What the function does (inputs → outputs)
|
||||
- Edge cases and boundaries
|
||||
- Error conditions
|
||||
- Data transformations
|
||||
|
||||
**Don't test:**
|
||||
- Private implementation details
|
||||
- Framework internals
|
||||
- External libraries
|
||||
- Simple property access

||||

def test_user_aggregation():
|

# Arrange - simple, clear test data
|

events = [
|

{'user_id': 'u1', 'event': 'click'},
|

{'user_id': 'u1', 'event': 'view'},
|

{'user_id': 'u2', 'event': 'click'},

]
|

# Act - call the function
|

result = aggregate_user_events(events)
|

|

# Assert - check the behavior

assert result == {'u1': 2, 'u2': 1}

```

<test_both_spaces>
|
||||
**Test positive and negative space:**
|
||||
- Test valid inputs produce correct outputs (positive space)
|
||||
- Test invalid inputs are rejected or handled correctly (negative space)
|
||||
- For data pipelines: test with realistic data samples AND with malformed/missing data
|
||||
</test_both_spaces>
|
||||
|
||||
<integration_tests_often_more_valuable>
|
||||
- Test with real database (DuckDB is fast)
|
||||
- Test actual SQL queries
|
||||
- Test end-to-end flows
|
||||
- Use realistic data samples

<when_to_comment>
|
||||
**Comment the "why":**
|
||||
```python
|
||||
# Use binary search because list is sorted and can be large (1M+ items)
|
||||
index = binary_search(sorted_items, target)
|
||||
|
||||
# Cache for 5 minutes - balance freshness vs database load
|
||||
@cache(ttl=300)
|
||||
def get_user_stats(user_id):
|
||||
...
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Don't comment the "what":**
|
||||
```python
|
||||
# Bad - code is self-explanatory
|
||||
# Increment the counter
|
||||
counter += 1
|
||||
|
||||
# Good - code is clear on its own
|
||||
counter += 1
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Always motivate decisions:**
|
||||
- Explain why you wrote code the way you did
|
||||
- Code alone isn't documentation — the reasoning matters
|
||||
- Comments are well-written prose, not margin scribblings
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
<self_documenting_code>
|
||||
- Use descriptive names
|
||||
- Keep functions focused
|
||||
- Make data flow obvious
|
||||
- Structure for readability

||||

**Key Principles:**
|
||||
1. **Simple, direct, procedural** — functions over classes
|
||||
2. **Data-oriented** — understand the data and its flow
|
||||
3. **Explicit over implicit** — no magic, no hiding
|
||||
4. **Build minimum that works** — solve actual problems, zero technical debt
|
||||
5. **Performance conscious** — design for performance, then measure before micro-optimizing
|
||||
6. **Keep logic in SQL** — let the database do the work
|
||||
7. **Handle errors explicitly** — no silent failures, all errors handled
|
||||
8. **Assert invariants** — use assertions to document and enforce correctness
|
||||
9. **Set limits on everything** — nothing runs unbounded
|
||||
10. **Question abstractions** — every layer needs justification
|
||||
|
||||
**Ask yourself:**
|
||||
- Is this the simplest solution?
|
||||
- Can someone else understand this?
|
||||
- What is the computer actually doing?
|
||||
- Am I solving the real problem?
|
||||
- What are the bounds on this operation?
|
||||
|
||||
When in doubt, go simpler.
